I'm curious as to whether my almost pure spell deck would be any good. It has tons upon tons of combos to keep clearing the board and get the Shadow Form value going. You can also easily burst for 15 damage with Embrace the Shadows + 2x Flash Heal, Hero Power and Earthen Ring Farseer, so Jaraxxus can't outgrind you anymore either.
With Lightbomb gone I like the addition of Embrace the Shadows especially. Control Decks usually need a power turn to regain tempo later in the game and a 2 mana Flame Strike kinda does that. Soulpriest combos amazingly well with Flash Heals and Embrace the Shadows combos better with Circle of Healing and Darkshire Alchemist/Earthen Ring Farseer.
I don't think the deck is valid without the additional board clear from Lightbomb. The deck just has huge issues trading just with its minions. Vol'Jin is also irreplaceable, this guy is just straight hard removal if you have Shadowform up. I'd rather play this deck in wild then go without these two.
Deathlord and Sludge Belcher can be sort of replaced with other taunts, I'd go for Sen'Jin and Psych-O-Tron. The Cyclopian Horror is a bit risky because it's only good if you are already losing. The only card that's an improvement is Darkshire Alchemist over Antique Healbot (or Refreshment Vendor).
Another card I really love in the deck is Nexus-Champion Saraad. You want to hero power a lot anyway, so you're guaranteed at least one spell, and he's also a damage magnet more than any taunt.
I don't like the Acolyte of Pain at all. You don't have good ways to trigger more than one draw, and it's super weak on the board. I'm much happier with Bloodmage Thalnos. He's also a draw, and the buff he gives to Holy Smite / Excavated Evil / Holy Nova can win games. I added an Azure Drake for the same reason.
Summoning all my fellow shadow priests brothers...
The new era is here. We have lost our beloved healbots, lightbombs (what did I miss?) but we will be back with other formidable tools from WotG.
Like to know your thoughts for the future. A C'thun shadow priest perhaps, since it has a +10 heal, and 2 emperor legend taunt.
hesitate no further and leave your comments here. For one of two things will happen. We will rule the world! =)
Or we just renounce shadow for the light. =(
I created two Shadow Form decks so far, one with C'Thun and one with Yogg'Saron.
